What guests think
Across reviews of Burntisland House, guests describe an older, characterful property with basic rooms, noting tired decor and some maintenance issues in common areas, alongside convenient access to the train and town.
Room comfort is mixed: several mention thin walls and noise, and some found mattresses or pillows lumpy, though spacious layouts and strong showers are appreciated. Cleanliness feedback varies, with many clean bedrooms but dusty or scruffy shared areas and occasional reports of unpleasant odours or poor upkeep. Service is often warm and accommodating, though a few guests experienced awkward check in or difficulty contacting staff. Overall, expect a simple, no frills stay with the basics covered.

Lovely old building seems like undergoing some refurbishment. Thought the reception area wasn't very welcoming but the staff member was. Good lighting system. Room on second floor with no obvious lift. Roof light Window hard to open. Pleasant enough

We were on motorbikes and the owner was very welcoming, allowing us to park the bikes on the hard-standing in front of the house (inside the property boundary so at no risk of being booked for parking on the pavement where there are double yellow lines). The rooms (we were on the top floor in 10 & 14) were great, they were en-suite and quiet. Sure the floorboards creak a bit and the decoration was a little tired but I have stayed in Travelodges that were much smaller, noisier and dirtier but had to pay twice the price. The lack of an option to dine in was not an issue: there are plenty of places to eat further along the street (this is on one end of the high street) and a café a few doors down that opens at 8.30 for breakfast (a fantastic "small" Scottish breakfast for less than £8).

Arriving late on a dark evening, it looked unwelcoming - but the lass on reception made up for that! The room was large and warm, with wooden furniture, and the "curtains" were wooden shutters: it felt friendly. Characterful: the ceiling must have been about 4m up, an a bit of box trim (proably hiding pipework) made a useful seat or low shelf. Everything worked. The station was a 5 minute walk, town centre likewise. I'd go back if in the area again.

The rooms were clean but the beds need to be replaced. I flipped and turned the mattress. Staff were friendly and helpful. The common areas and grounds are lacking in maintenance. Accommodation is expensive in Scotland so you get what you pay for. Overall good value for money but I’d rather pay more for a higher standard of hotel.

This is not a hotel and definitely not 3 stars. The room I stayed in left all of my clothes smelling mouldy. The rooms walls were so thin, I could here the person in the next room like we were in the same room. What makes this even worse is that it's massively overpriced. The reviews for the property have been inflated by fake reviews. Avoid if at all possible.

Overall the stay was good. The hotel itself was a bit dusty and didn’t feel as clean as i would have liked. But nothing too bad that would deter me from staying there for a night or two. Great price and delicious local food

We were on motorbikes and the owner was very welcoming, allowing us to park the bikes on the hard-standing in front of the house (inside the property boundary so at no risk of being booked for parking on the pavement where there are double yellow lines). The rooms (we were on the top floor in 10 & 14) were great, they were en-suite and quiet. Sure the floorboards creak a bit and the decoration was a little tired but I have stayed in Travelodges that were much smaller, noisier and dirtier but had to pay twice the price. The lack of an option to dine in was not an issue: there are plenty of places to eat further along the street (this is on one end of the high street) and a café a few doors down that opens at 8.30 for breakfast (a fantastic "small" Scottish breakfast for less than £8).

The host was great, the surrounding area for meals was great. It is an old building which is apparent.

The pictures you see on the website make this place look ok but in reality it needs closing down as it's a complete dump. It may be cheaper than other places but I'd say it was worse than a low grade hostel. I stay in an average of 3 hotels a week and this has got to be the worst yet. The front of the building is a complete mess with damaged railings and stained walls and steps. As you enter all you can smell is damp and musty like an old church. Completely stained and worn carpets also. I had the cabin room in the garden,it was awful and told the guy at reception also. It smelt of damp dog,stains all over the walls and all the furniture is hand made,by a stone mason I think, absolutely awful for £100. After a 7 hour drive as working away, I didn't have the will power to try and find somewhere else late at night.... Be warned....

Very comfortable cottage in the backyard. At first glance from the pavement you may get a negative impression but walking into the separate cottage you will be very happy. We found this to be a safe area as well.
